The Sims fans are reacting positively to Paradox's recently announced life sim Life by You.
Yesterday, City Skylines publisher Paradox unveiled Life by You, which appears to be a worthy competitor to The Sims 4. It's probably not a coincidence that the upcoming life sim is already getting a lot of comparisons to EA's simulation series, considering the person heading up Life by You previously worked on The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.
These comparisons aren't necessarily a bad thing, though, as a look through The Sims subreddit (opens in new tab) will show, fans of Maxis' sim seem genuinely excited about Life by You. After one user shared the game's announcement trailer in the subreddit, another fan has replied saying: "I love the art style, looks like [The Sims 2] mixed with [The Sims 3] instead of an overly cartoony look like [The Sims 4]."
"I have very high hopes for the gameplay," another fan says, "putting a lot of faith in Rod Humble!", Humble being the previously mentioned The Sims 2 and 3 veteran. Both of these users also shared that they hope Life by You takes more of a mature direction, for example, fans want it to have "raunchier humour", more so than The Sims 4 or fellow upcoming life sim Paralives.
